Abstract:
Previous research on the effects of sensory integration therapy on vestibular processing dysfunction has not used an appropriate control group design. Using a control group, this research investigated the effects of sensory integration therapy on nystagmus duration, equilibrium reactions and visual-motor integration in 26 children with reading retardation. The sample had average intelligence but showed depressed nystagmus duration, problems in equilibrium reactions and delays in visual-motor coordination. Sixty-six sessions of therapy did not significantly affect duration, equilibrium or visual-motor integration.
